(Words and photos by Benoit Pigeon) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Every \ufb01rst Thursday of the month during\u00a0racing season at Piedmont Dragway in\u00a0Julian, NC, \u00a0 very large crowds show up to \u00a0witness the Big Dog Shootout. This is a\u00a0classic long standing event held in the\u00a0evening. Pro Mods are the big cars as well\u00a0as the a bit slower but nitrous only\u00a0Renegade class. The rest of the show is\u00a0\ufb01lled with many cars, very nice for most and\u00a0divided in a few classes.\u00a0 The Big Dogs\u00a0have only two quali\ufb01cations for an eight\u00a0cars \ufb01eld but the event is only one evening\u00a0long, making between rounds very short for\u00a0the demanding and high maintenance cars.<\/p>\n

No doubt that\u2019s part of what makes this\u00a0event so colorful. Add to this a nice sunset\u00a0and the atmosphere is perfect. And perfect\u00a0is what it exactly was for Travis Harvey who\u00a0won the trophy, literally a statue of a\u00a0bulldog, for the second time in a row with\u00a0his Brad Boone owned nitrous Camaro.<\/p>\n
